Top Contributors - August 2016

Hello Community,

August is so much more than just the last month of the summer. Here are some interesting facts about August that you may not know:

The Romans gave this month its name in 8BC, after the first Roman Emperor Augustus who ruled from 27BC until his death in AD14. Who knew?
Before then, the month had been known as Sextilis, as it was the sixth of ten months in the Roman calendar, which began with March. Hmmm – what happened to January and February?
The Anglo-Saxons called August “Weodmonath” meaning “weed month”. I totally get that.
The birthstones for August are the peridot and the sardonyx and the flowers are the gladiolus and poppy. Okay – I’ve heard of a poppy.
August was the 55th most common name given to a baby boy in Sweden in 2014. Do you know any Swedish people named August?

Who would have thought there would be so many interesting facts about the month of August? I’m proud to say that there are also some amazing things that happened within our Community for the month of August.

Here are a few highlights and call-outs that are much deserved:

Big shout-out to @Shazia_K and @Maria_M for their hard work in keeping the community engaged while assisting customers with their questions and concerns.

A true honour to make it for the first time! Being on paternity leave has allowed me to participate more when the little one goes to sleep.

Congratulations to everyone especially the Oracle's and wonderful staff @Shazia_K and @Mary_M

Glad to make list again but very puzzled at terminology

If the ranking is "top 0.5%" or "top 0.1%" the question is top of what?

It is not raw number of posters (evidenced by the seeming randomness of number of people earning badges) so what is Public sampling?

Any ideas?

Re: Top Contributors - August 2016

kav2001c — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 23:57:24 GMT

I was bored so did a bit of research, but it looks to me like badge system is all over the place

Anyone have any ideas?

http://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Discussions/Community-Badges/m-p/63426

See last post for raw number counts

If the top% are indeed a percentage of anything (posters, subscribers, bravos/solutions etc) I am baffled at the seeming randomness of the system
